Resident Events is a resource for property management professionals to find, share, and rate community events and apartment party ideas with each other! Need some community event ideas? Just take a look around!

**TIP** Check with your local print shop for free paper scraps before they’re recycled! You can also check with local tailors for fabric scraps as well. Remember, they don’t need to be big pieces. Even small scraps may be just the thing a child needs to finish off a flag for a castle or curtains for a window dressing in their house.

Remember, all upcycled art and craft supplies should be in a useful and clean condition. Do not save craft supplies that are soiled by food or liquid. Always wash used food containers thoroughly before giving them out for kids to use as craft materials.

Crafting the creations!

For the craft part of the project, provide things like...

•School glue

•Warm (or hot) glue guns

•Tape

•Staples

•Hole punchers

•Paint and brushes

•Paperclips

•Googly eyes

•Twist ties

•Colorful pipe cleaners

Allow children (and parents!) to make creative and unusual masterpieces using only the scraps they’ve been provided and their colorful imaginations!
